1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The lungs are innervated by both afferent and efferent nerve fibres that regulate key respiratory functions, including the cough reflex, airway tone, mucus secretion, and the detection of mechanical and chemical stimuli. In asthma, airway hyperresponsiveness and inflammation are, in part, modulated by the nervous system. Recent findings have identified neuroplasticity as a pathological feature of severe asthma, suggesting that altered neural remodelling contributes to disease symptoms. Additionally, growing evidence highlights bidirectional interactions between the airway nervous system and local immune cells, which play a crucial role in modulating each other's activity. In this review, we explore the emerging roles of airway neuroplasticity and neuroimmune interactions in the development of type 2 inflammation in asthma. We focus on the involvement of neuropeptides and cytokines in mediating this bidirectional crosstalk, aiming to elucidate the mechanistic link between neural remodelling and immune activation and to identify novel targets for pharmacological intervention.
